Ventriloquist Love

Lyrics

Once we was happy As Kukla and Fran Oh, you looked like a woman So I felt like a man We didn't have no big Rolls Royce But we was happy now, wasn't we, Joyce? And then you went away to night school, darlin' And learned to throw your voice Ventriloquist love It ain't such a groove Whenever I kiss ya, honey Your lips never move But you'd practice for hours With the bedroom door shut You and your dummy Little Charlie McNutt And everyone thought he was so cute In his little yellow suit But then one night you broke him, huh? And made me substitute Ventriloquist love It ain't such a groove Whenever I kiss you, darlin' Your lips never move Honey, I did love you, honey, in the worst kind of way I loved you every night and every day And oh what a thrill, I remember it still The night I asked you, "would you marry me?" And you said, (ventriloquist voice) "I will!" Ventriloquist love It ain't such a groove Whenever I kiss you Your lips never move The last night at that party You threw it all away Oh I'll never live down, honey The things you forced me to say You made a pass at every guy Oh lord, I wanted just to curl up and die Cause you made the words come from me Now I can't look 'em in the eye 'Cuz the things they're thinking Are hard to disprove 'Cuz whenever I kiss you Your lips never move
